Disclosure: I received complimentary admission but as usual, all opinions and thoughts are my own.
After the excitement and the time I spent touring San Antonio during my stay I knew I needed some downtime to catch my breath and relax. By then end of my trip I was hot, I was tired, and I was just about all fun-ed out–that is, until I saw my where next destination was going to be. Picture if you will, putting a tall ice cold glass of water in front of a parched woman on a scorching summers day: the tall ice cold glass of water being Schlitterbahn Waterpark & Resort in New Braunsfels, Texas. In that instant, I knew I had some fun left in me after all!

#BayouTravel Tip: Free Parking and Yes, you can bring ice coolers. There is plenty of seating (I have never seen so many picnic tables near all pool activities) and tables that you can utilize to save your family money. Bring an ice cooler with wheels so you can go from one side of the park to the next. Being able to bring your own beverages, snacks and lunches will ensure you get the most out of your ticket fees.
What do you look for in a water park? Will your family be visiting a water park this summer?
We have yet to get to any parks so far this summer since school doesn’t get out until Friday. But boy this post makes me very excited to hit the road. Looks like an awesome day.
I won’t be visiting a water park this summer even though there are numerous ones not all that far from me. If you have kids (which I do not) then I can’t think of a better way to spend a day or more!
I have never been to a water park before but this looks like so much fun. I love the slide which looks huge. It really doesn’t matter what age you are when going to a Water Park. Thanks for sharing.
